Revamped yes.. but not Replaced as is the case in IL-2 vs. CoD.

Agreed 100%

But it still looks good IMHO! More than good enough for a flight sim IMHO, but CoD has planes to do more than just flight.

Sorry if that is the impression you got from 'me' because that was not my intent. Even IL-2 got a few 'revamps' over the past 10+ years.. But the 'core' of it has not changed. The point I was making is it is much easier to add 'one' plane to an existing game engine. Which is what DCS has done with the P51. It is much Much MUCH harder to do what 1C is doing with CoD where everything is 'new'.. The planes, the maps, the graphics, the AI, the FM, the DM, etc.

In short sorry if I offended any die hard DCS users and or mods who post here.. That was not my intent, I simply wanted to put into prospective the difference between adding 'one' plane to an existing game engine and starting from scratch with a new game engine
